The God who Hears, Day 13

Define foolishness. Read 1 Samuel chapter 13.

What does it mean to be foolish? Often when we think of someone who is foolish, we envision people with a lack of intelligence or who have made incorrect choices. That’s partially the answer. However, we can more broadly, and accurately, define foolishness as anything that is disobedient to the Lord.

The definition of foolishness is a direct correlation to our understanding and obedience of the will of God in our lives. Every time we make a decision to disobey what God has called us to do, we are acting foolishly. What is wisdom? To obey the commands of the Lord is the definition of wisdom. Are we wise or are we foolish?
